A '''golden shovel''' is a variant of [[Minecraft:shovel]] that is crafted from gold ingots. It is used to break [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:sand]], [[Minecraft:gravel]] and other related blocks faster, to create dirt paths from dirt-related blocks, and to [[Minecraft:Shovel#Campfire|extinguish]] [[Minecraft:campfire]]s. It is the sixth-highest tier of shovel, having the lowest durability, and having the lowest attack damage alongside wooden shovels, despite having the highest mining efficiency. It can be [[Minecraft:Piglin#Piglin loved items|admired]] by piglins, and has the highest enchantability.

A golden shovel can be repaired in an [[Minecraft:anvil]] by adding gold ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% of the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. Two golden shovels can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the shovel's enchantments.

A golden shovel can receive the following enchantments:
